Game Thread: Rangers (65-66) at White Sox (68-62)
In a tale of two weak divisions, the White Sox will get another look at the Rangers, this time in Chicago. The Rangers are tied with the Astros atop the American League West. Neither team has a winning record (.496) in the AL West, and any meaningful baseball in October will likely be short-lived. José […]
White Sox Weekly: August 17-23, 2026
The White Sox week started by getting walked off on back-to-back nights, there was a midweek goose egg to lose a makeup game to Atlanta, and then the pitching gave up 10 runs to a Mets team that is well worse than .500. Oh, and not to mention, it’s the middle of a 16-game stretch, […]
Unsung hero of the White Sox? Walk-off whiz Tristan Peters
The Chicago White Sox have been the most fun team to watch in Major League Baseball this season, with their 11th walk-off win of the season on Sunday afternoon thanks to a Tristan Peters solo homer in the bottom of the ninth. It also helped move Chicago’s record to 27-19 in one run games. This was […]
Today in White Sox History: August 24
1901 The White Sox signed Wiley Piatt, who had been released by the Philadelphia A’s in July. The left-handed starter pitched well down the stretch for the first-place White Sox, going 4-2 with a 2.79 ERA and 1.084 WHIP, good for 0.4 WAR over seven games (six starts). The 1902 season was more of a […]

White Sox Minor League Update: August 23, 2026
Before we break down Sunday’s affiliate games, it was announced Saturday by the White Sox that two top-rated White Sox prospects — Roch Cholowsky and Billy Carlson — will both be shut down for the remainder of the minor league seasons, as reported by MLB’s Scott Merkin. Cholowsky was the top pick for Chicago in […]
Clutch Peters, stud pitching deliver White Sox key series win against Mets
With any luck, Hagen Smith’s best days in a White Sox uniform are yet to come. And if today’s clutch performance was any indication, that could mean some pretty special things. Smith was dialed in for undoubtedly the finest performance of his young career, entering a 0-0 ballgame with two on and none out in […]
Game Thread: Mets (59-71) at White Sox (67-62)
OK, we got the Luis Robert Jr. revenge game out of the way. Phew. Nothing more to say, except for perhaps the hope that today may be Luisangel Acuña’s turn. I’m not holding my breath. If I was holding my breath, I would probably lose my life, because Acuña isn’t even in the starting lineup […]
Robert’s revenge
The White Sox (67-62) failed to build on their come-from-behind victory on Friday night, as the Mets (59-71) picked up a 10-5 victory against a pitching staff that struggled from start to finish. Luis Castillo, 33, started on the mound for the South Siders, and things did not go as planned. In the first, A.J. […]

Charlotte Knights 9, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 6The 13 hits that the Knights (67-58) mashed against the RailRiders (64-57) helped propel Charlotte to their third win of the series, securing the second win of the year for David Sandlin. The Good Guys racked up four runs in the second to snag an early lead, capped off by […]
Game Thread: Mets (58-71) at White Sox (67-61)
After a thrilling victory on Friday night, the White Sox (67-61) are back in action on the South Side against the Mets (58-71). Trade deadline acquisition Luis Castillo, 33, will start on the mound for the South Siders. Castillo enters this game with a 4.99 ERA and a 4.52 FIP in 115 1/3 innings this […]
Three things Will Venable must do to win AL Manager of the Year
The White Sox are one of the few AL teams to beat as the home stretch of baseball approaches, and a lot of the credit goes to Will Venable. The sophomore skipper has led Chicago to first in the division with a 67-61 record, giving him a huge leg up in this year’s AL Manager […]

1923 In a game at Comiskey Park, White Sox pitcher Hollis “Sloppy” Thurston threw an immaculate inning of relief (striking out the side on only nine pitches) versus the Philadelphia Athletics. Thurston’s Immaculate Inning came in the 12th, mowing down Frank “Beauty” McGowan, Clarence “Chick” Galloway and Sam Hale. Thurston became the first White Sox and just […]

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 5, Charlotte Knights 3 Playing against two rehabbing Yankees and their 4A team was too tall an order for the Knights, but this time the loss was on the arms. Jonathan Cannon did a fair job stretching his start as long as possible. Although he gave up two home runs, his six innings […]
Back-to-back-to-back ties it, Jake Rogers jack wins it for White Sox
For a young team like the Chicago White Sox, where most of the players haven’t experienced a playoff race much less a wining season, the dog days can be too much for some teams to handle. With plenty of time left in August, no one game gives reason to push the panic button, but the […]
Game Thread: Mets (58-70) at White Sox (66-61)
Heading into this season most people would’ve assumed the New York Mets would be fighting for their division title while the White Sox would be floundering, with another losing record. Fortunately for us, money can’t buy wins on its own, unless you’re Mark Walter and you love taking out loans. The Mets have been better […]
South Side Sox Reacts: It’s still The Punch
Heading into the second Crosstown series of the season — and this one with much more anticipation of success for the White Sox than the one back in May — it seemed a good time to review our very favorite moments of interleague play between the two Chicago teams. Understanding that there are multitudes of […]

1901 While they were the most prodigious team entering the major leagues in this year, the White Sox still could not avoid major controversy before the summer was out. Two Sox players were suspended after attacking umpire Jack Haskell in the fourth inning of a 8-0 loss at Washington. When Senators third baseman Bill Coughlin […]

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 2, Charlotte Knights 0 (7 innings)It was just seven innings, but the Knights (66-57) played a close one against the RailRiders (63-56), who outhit Charlotte 4-3 and spoiled a great performance by lefthander Noah Schultz in a 2-0 shutout loss. Schultz was efficient for four frames, allowing just four baserunners — three hits […]
White Sox held to one hit in 2-0 shutout loss to Braves
The bats were not aware that today was not an off-day, as the White Sox fell to the Braves with only one hit in nine innings. Atlanta broke its losing streak with a 2-0 win before leaving town again. Anthony Kay had two solid innings, getting nearly every batter to ground out for quick frames. […]
Game Thread: Braves (74-53) at White Sox (66-60)
The Braves are back in town for one game against the White Sox to finish a series from June 11. The White Sox have already taken the first two games and have a chance to sweep the Braves this afternoon. Atlanta was just swept by the Twins after losing two of three to the Diamondbacks, […]
Today in White Sox History: August 20
1928 White Sox rookie Art “The Great” Shires made a sensational debut, with four hits (including a triple) against the Red Sox in a 6-4 win. He’s one of only 11 players to ever get four or more hits in his first big-league game. “The Great” nickname, by the way, was self-assigned! 1929 The White Sox honored pitcher Red […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 19, 2026
Charlotte Knights 7, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 2Knights put up a two-spot in the first, as back-to-back leadoff walks to Rikuu Nishida and Dru Baker, a single by Ryan Galanie and a ground out by Junior Perez got the job done. The RailRiders tied it up though in the bottom of the second, plating two off the […]
Urquidy deals, White Sox finally get last laugh at Wrigley, 3-0
Third time’s the charm, or so they say. After two nights of late-inning faceplants at Wrigley, the White Sox finally got the last laugh, blanking the Cubs, 3-0, and sneaking out of the North Side with a win. And José Urquidy was exactly the hero an exhausted pitching staff needed. Urquidy carved up the Cubs […]
Game Thread: White Sox (65-60) at Cubs (74-53)
After two straight gut-punch walk-off losses at Wrigley Field, the White Sox will try to salvage the finale of the Crosstown series this afternoon before heading back to the South Side. Despite the back-to-back heartbreakers, the Sox still hold a four-game lead over the Twins in the AL Central, but there isn’t much time to […]
